"Frédéric Bodin, Professor of Plastic Surgery, was taking over 200 photos a week and had no tools to sort and store them safely.
In 2018, he went to a health innovation competition with the idea of creating an app to manage his medical photos. It was there that he met entrepreneur Matis Ringdal and engineer Vincent Marceddu. The prototype app they developed won several awards.
"It all came together in 2019 when they founded the company and signed their first hospital contracts. Pixacare won the i-Lab contest, a government program that supports innovative startups. Concurrently, the company announced its first financing round of 2 million euros. In early 2023, the medical imaging library and wound management solutions received their CE marking for medical devices.
Meanwhile, engineers have been developing AI technologies to measure and analyse chronic wounds.
In 2023, Pixacare has been implemented in 20 hospitals across France and internationally. The application has registered over 50,000 patients and 250,000 photos. At the company's headquarters, the team now consists of 20 employees.
